This ppt discusses why someone would create a video podcast for their class and some of the basic things that they need.

1. Mastery Learning
In Chemistry - RHS

2. Deb’s Objectives
• Describe our use of “vodcasting” and
explain Mastery Learning
• Discuss successes and hurdles
• Use Camtasia – make a vodcast
• Provide time for discussion and questions

3. Jumping in the Deep End
• Jing and “Jaws”
• On my own…yikes!
• Woodland Park, CO
• Spring 2009
• This year

4. How does this work?
• Packet
• Packet is “order of
worship”
• Frequent
Evaluations
• 80%
Mastery

5. Typical Day
• Practice – (students check own
WITH student mentor)
• Demonstrations and Labs
• Watching lecture (discouraged)
• Reading – Reading Guides
• Quizzes (graded WITH student)
• Tests

6. Demonstrations
• I perform
demonstrations for
3 or 4 students,
not for a whole
class.

7. Labs
• 2 or 3 students
complete a lab
together.
• Once they have
finished, they
meet with me to
discuss their
understandings.

8. Lecture
• This student got sick for an extended period.
He did not miss a single lecture. He had all
the resources he needed to get caught up.

9. Practice, Quizzes & Tests
• Students practiced
until they
mastered.
• There’s no reason
to copy, because if
you don’t
understand, you
don’t move on.

10. Benefits
Differentiation
Learning - Understanding
Relationships
Cheating doesn’t pay!

11. Hurdles
• Access
• Chaos
• Time
• Technology

12. AP Chemistry
• Not self paced.
• Students watch the lectures as
homework.
• In Class
– More time for discussion
– More time to answer questions
– Time in class to PRACTICE
– Labs, demos, etc.

13. If not mastery, then WHY?
• Absences
– Yours
– Your Student’s
• Difficult Concepts
• Need for TIME
– Class can be used for more than
dispensing info
• OTHERS (?)

14. What do you need?
• Software
– Good: Jing (free download)
– Better: Smart Recorder (on your
smartboard)
– Best: Camtasia
• Microphone

15. Propagation
(Where do I put my video?)
• Shared Folder – (Space)
• Blog
• Youtube.com
• Blip.tv
• State media server
